Underrated destinations around the world

Despite being comparable in size to Turkey, the Central Asian state of
Turkmenistan is one of the least visited countries in the world, attracting
just 7,000 overseas visitors a year, according to the UN. It's a
fascinating, mysterious place ruled by 'president-for-life' Saparmurat
Niyazov, which has resulted in comparisons to North Korea. Its natural
landscape is remarkable. The Karakum Desert has oases, ancient fortresses,
underground lakes and eerie gas craters, including the Darvaza crater, known
as “the door to hell”.
